I agree.

( given the nature of the curse, he's not really sure he wants to find out when or if he gets to that point at all. but he might not be in a position to make that decision.

eustace raises an issue he's already thought about a decent amount himself. being anywhere with a large concentration of people is dangerous, but venera in the wake of its miniature disaster is a particularly loathsome minefield. one he'd been dropped square into the middle of when binghe had dropped him off at the goddamned hospital; he'd regained consciousness surrounded by the living electricity of others' pain, and it had taken him hours before he'd managed to scrape together enough nerve to force himself to leave the place.

he's already figured out a way home that imposes less upon his peers. )

No, I think I will instead elect for some time alone and teleport to one of the shrines closer to Achamoth and fly the rest of the way.

( long distance is still challenging for him, considering how new his wings are still, but he'd prefer that over a crowded ship. )

I trust you have those around you that you can rely on guide you home?
